Propain
The Mercy Killings
[Verse 1]
The people shouted: "No justice
And no peace"
It's gettin' pretty wicked and wild
In the streets
We're frightened of the gunshots
In the park
Praying that our kids come home
Before dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Screaming sirens cuss the air
They're killing our kids
And they don't care
It makes you wanna
Hang your head and cry
It makes you feel powerless inside

[Chorus]
Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead

[Verse 2]
Violence nine to five
I can't really say that it's
Great to be alive
I'm talkin' 'bout the bloodshed
Overflow
It's movin' too fast for the folks below

[Pre-Chorus]
When reality rears its head
Hope is lost as tears are shed
We fall prey to violent crimes
Been sittin' ducks for all our lives

[Chorus]
Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead
[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Screaming sirens cuss the air
They're killing our kids
And they don't care
It makes you wanna
Hang your head and cry
It makes you feel powerless inside

[Chorus]
Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead

Took that TEC-9
To the head
It was a mercy kill
And there were five found dead
